Hunting & Fishing First suppressed kill with other animals around! IT"S AWESOME!

[pyplynr]

Oklahoma passed the law last year where we can hunt game animals with suppressors. I didn't get to hunt much at all last year due to work. But this year was different. I had 3 does come out Saturday afternoon and decided to take the biggest one. I dialed my elevation for the range that she was and squeezed off the shot. She was DRT and to my amazement the other 2 does ran about 20 feet away and just looked around then went back to eating. I think the only reason they ran in the first place is from the one I shot just falling down. They stayed and ate for another 45 minutes then wandered off.

If you look to the left of the doe on the ground you can see the other 2. This pic was taken no more than 3 minutes after the shot.


Here's my first suppressed kill on big game. Shot was at 300 yards with a 6.5x47 using 130 Berger hunting VLD, quartering away, entry hole is covered by the bipod feet.

Well done....love those DRT's!

Pretty cool. You did not get another one, did you only have one tag?

It only adds to the addictiveness of hunting.

Excellent! Nice shooting.

I've been in the situation the past 2 years with a suppressed >350yd shot and both times I hit the doe I was aiming at only to have the rest of the deer just trot around and stop. When an unsuppressed shot goes of next they're G.O.N.E!

This year's rifle season is bittersweet in that I won't be hunting it.

I filled my buck tag early with a bow and my doe tags are in shotgun only or archery only areas plus I have nowhere to really punch out a doe and I don't hunt public land during firearms season because of the Orange Army being loose... so I might not actually pull a trigger on a deer this year. There's always late season anterless though

It is one of the most exciting things in hunting. I've shared this before, but it fits here. From an elk hunt last year, had along my young cousin on his rookie hunt, I'd just ran hard to get into position, so it sounds like a porno, but watch the reaction of the other elk. They jump, then just stand there and look. They were still there when we walked down there a while later.

Good looking rifle sir.

We've tested this with suppressed sub loads on turkey. Firing well over their heads, they still took off like one of their buddies had just been hit with a shotgun. Conversely, I've seen deer stick around after a full-power, unsuppressed round just dropped a comrade. I really don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it. Hunting with a suppressor certainly is more gentlemanly, though.

Nice would be happy with that.

Looks funny going hunting with the power wires behind, an I cant imagine what it would be like having to get tags

On another note heres one form a trip other day for tahr, suppressed vs a brake is on the other one. Shot at 481m

I DRT (what that stand for?) my one on the bottom right.

We don't have any laws here in New Zealand with suppressors, shes anything goes

I can only imagine hunting without tags...

instant/clean kill

I have taken a bunch of critters suppressed and have found each is it's own. Depending on what is around towards the shot makes a difference as the sound can be reflected back at times, long open distances make the sonic crack of the bullet seem fairly loud where as shorter distances with brush and trees you only hear psssttt thud.

Witnessed one of the coolest sounds I have heard 2 weeks ago when my daughter took her first deer ever with a suppressed 260 at 125 yards. I was videoing but forgot to record the shot but I can still recall the shot. The bullet hitting the buck was just crazy sounding and it was an instant DRT. I shoot a 300 Blackout with sub sonics and the heavy 240gr SMK's that make a distinct whack when hitting flesh. All in all it's nice not to have the big boom when hunting and it's easy to get hooked. Hopefully in the near future I'll get some doe culls with the Blackout on video.

Congrats!!! Great looking rifle.

I was in that same position this weekend but with my muzzle loader. Shot the first doe and the second doe just sat there eating. This was 70 yds from me. After 15 min. I had to shoe the second doe away after I got out of the stand. I dont know what was up with her.
